Russell Martin on his insistence to play SS at the WBC (thus leading to him pulling out today)

**** you, Russell Martin. You haven't ever played SS professionally (except maybe a game or two in the low, low, low minors). Your value (such as it is considering how awful you were last year) is at catcher.

This is kind of like Crosby demanding that he get to play goal in Sochi because he once played goal for a beer league roller hockey game in Pittsburgh and he thinks it'd be fun.

Apparently being asked to play for your country isn't enough .. What a selfish *****
